Histological scores and tumor size on stage II in adrenocortical carcinomas.
Article in Rare tumors, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) are aggressive tumors with a poor prognosis. Histological scores are advised for the diagnosis, however, there are borderline cases that may be misjudged as adrenocortical adenomas (ACA). The three main scores used are: Weiss Modified System (WMS), Reticulin Algorithm (RA), and Helsinki Score (HS). We intend to compare the accuracy of the three scores in ACC diagnosis and to identify predictive factors of overall survival (OS). Retrospective study (2004-2016) at Centro Hospitalar e Universitário de Coimbra of the adrenal tumors, classified as ACC or ACA, with a history of posterior tumor relapse/metastases, without lesions in the contralateral adrenal gland: 13F and 6M, with a median age of 51 ± 12.41 years. Nodules' median size was 9.20 ± 6.2 cm. Patients had a median OS of 52 ± 18.6 months, with 57.9% and 46.3%, at 3 and 5 years. Seven patients had local recurrence and nine had metastases. Thirteen cases were in stage II. The WMS and the HS allowed a diagnosis of ACC in 15 cases and the RA defined ACC in 17 cases. All cases had, at least, focal disruption of the reticulin framework. More than 5 mitosis/50 HPF was associated with worse OS: 49.67 ± 21.43 versus 108.86 ± 14.02 months (
